I think Game 5 showed why Team USA will forever suck balls at international competitions. A new team comprised of people like Wade, who make a living off of the superstar calls, tiny amounts of contact, getting to the line for bullshiit contact that would never even pass for a foul inthe Olympics, etc etc etc...

(btw, this has nothing to do with Mavs vs. Heat and favoritism, in case you were wondering)

Never really got behind the whole superstar call thing. Every one should have to play witin the same set of rules. Just because a guy is good, NBA handicaps the rest of the defense to make that one player even better so that the player can look even better than he is.

the olympics/international league rules suck balls. many bs calls against duncan last time he played.

dude could not cross the lane without getting called for a foul. they allow

less contact than even the nba. foreign refs suck balls worse than nba refs, and have for quite a while..

All the American's have to do is run and gun and they will blow every other team out of the water. Who cares if it's international rules? It's still basketball. America still has far and away the most talented, best basketball players in the world. As long as Larry Brown is not the coach they should be fine.
